    The quality of this model is just surprising to see, This has to be the best tv for the money this year, for someone who isn’t in the premium oled price point or doesn’t want to spend an arm and a leg it’s the tv that’s best all around. Easily competes with MiniLED and it’s affordable and performs for the price.

      Sorry, but i had this tv X90L and it never comes near in the picture quality of my X950H from 2020. No picturedepth, bad viewangle and no color pop. It seems like the picture is flat. The only good option with food picturequality in my opinion and i go only for Sony and fald or miniled is the X95L or maybe the repacked X93L when you can give more money for a TV

    • @BRIANSTECHTHERAPY
      @BRIANSTECHTHERAPY  10 місяців тому +7

      @biggesttboss it's the first resolution without a format behind it, such as an 8K bluray ect. It's pixel density matters very little as it's only upscaling. Also all major manufacturers are releasing their new technologies such as QD-OLED and MLA on 4k and not 8K. It's essentially dead.

    Glad to be back at my safe channel. Seeing this guy channel showing comparisons. Doing and growing well. Please do mention which channels are available in 85” sizes as well for value. Since Sony is changing model with larger size. It’s confusing. So this is an update from 900h series? Been away and can’t make sense of these letters. Please do help in having some folks understand who come back to models after years of their purchase. I remember 900f 950h 800h etc. Now what are they currently, I don’t know ? Also, love Sony tv color profiles. Vivid with brightness 5 in my 4yr old tv gives me such a wonderful viewing experience in my huge tv. It’s really clears up colors making it compete with any Samsung pop with dark black and depth due to software optimizations. Love reality creation on Auto, add details intelligently so close to highest video signal and this is 4 yrs old tv with limited chips, it doesn’t add nasty Ai upscaling to everything. But to only places which would enhance resolution in split of second every scene👏. And that picture quality attracts everyone in my house and enhances all colors of all content. Sony wins for that for making all kind of customers happy.

    Hey Brian…. Great review.
    Was at Best Buy today. They didn’t have the 90 and 93l next to each other, so kinda hard to tell get a good comparison done, but what do you think is the better deal… $2799 for 85” 90L or $3999 for the 85” 93L? We watch a lot of movies, both daytime and nighttime. We have the X90j now. Solid TV but it struggles sometimes when the living room is rather bright and the blooming is sometimes a little distracting.

    Great review! Coming from an X85K (which doesn't have FALD, but it does have a great panel with one of the highest native contrast ratios of any LED TV) I have a few questions:
    1. How does the native contrast and brightness compare to the X93L?
    2. Do you think the X93L or X95L are worth the premium over the X90L for a home theater in a variety of lighting conditions?
    3. Any thoughts on blooming vs the aforementioned mini-LED models?
    Thanks!

    • @BRIANSTECHTHERAPY
      @BRIANSTECHTHERAPY  9 місяців тому +2

      Great question! The X90L is very good especially for where it stands in the lineup. However, for me the X93L is worth the price jump. It's a bit brighter, but it's better controlled with the backlight master drive. The X95L is even better but perhaps not worth the price jump at this moment. It has superior local dimming but it also appears less bright because of it. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching

Next time you meet with Robert from Sony, could you ask and find out whether Sony will be sticking with the X90L like they stuck with the X85K, or if the X90L will be replaced with the X90M and how significant the upgrade will be. Thanks. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more!

    I've had the 55 inch since it launched and I am amazed by the color and the clarity. Low bit rate content looks better on this than the TCL Q7 by far. I came from the Sony 900f and it is a clear step up in all respects - even the black levels. Sony tvs have the best dialogue when listening to the built speakers. I'm amazed by what I'm getting for the money. It's such a premium experience!

      I really think you nailed the gaming portion. No other reviewer often mentions that gaming is more than just input lag. We want the best picture quality while gaming as well. Being able to adjust the picture more during gaming is a must. Hopefully, the game bar evolves over time with this TV. Who knows, maybe in a year's time they will add some more gaming features like other companies have post launch.

I figure in a few more years, there will be a big enough improvement to get a new tv. I also use govee lights for darkroom performance. I highly suggest using them for Lcd tvs. Makes black bars black. I dont use them on my oleds, though, and I only use white.

    I needed to do some recon at my local BestBuy. Not the ideal place to compare TV's because they are so juiced up for retail display, but only way for me to compare multiple models. On my possible radar is a 75/77" TV for my living room to replace my 65" A80J. Off my list - A95L-too expensive, same for the S95C & LG G3. The X95L is also not a consideration due to only coming in an 85" size, and the price. Refuse to pay those prices for any TV.
    I saw the QM8, X90L, X93L, and A80L. while there. The QM8 was separate from the others but just popped when you looked at it. A bit over intense on the colors but it's probably in its most vivid mode. The 65" A80L and 65" X90L were in a group of 4 Sony's. The A80L looked the best of the 4, once you see OLED it is hard to not gravitate to it. The X90L had an odd matte looking finish to the screen that made blacks look grayish quite often. Another group had the X93L and X90L together. I honestly could not see much if any difference between the two, and in a larger size, I think they were both 85", I didn't notice the grayish blacks on the X90L. So the QM8 and A80L are still the two I would consider. The Hisense U8K was great too but the QM8 I thought rivaled it and is currently a bit less $$'s. Not in a rush so will wait to see if there are any great discounts around Black Friday.

    Great video, but why is mention of the 98" left out? I'd like to hear more opinions of what people would choose (if the price was equal), the 98" X90L or the 85" X95L for a bright room :-). The price here in Mexico has the 98" at around $7000 USD which I know will continue to drop towards black Friday.
    Loved how this video changed through the modes for those of us who aren't 100% purists. I wish I could see the input lag as the video was shuffling through the game settings. Regardless, I know from other reviews since I'm not a competitive gamer (I play single player large world RPGs), the input lag will be good enough for me.
    My current Samsung 75" Q9FN crushes the details in black, so I'm 95% sure I'll be moving to Sony (as well as for the motion processing/upscaling).

    Brian, I am deciding between the 98" TCL QM8 and the 98" Sony X90L. It will only be used with 4k blu ray HDR 10 / Dolby Vision movies in a dark room as I'm a movie buff, so I don't care about upscaling capabilities (already own an Apple TV 4K as well). I won't be gaming, watching sports or UA-cam. I won't be watching anything less than 4K HDR. The feeling of "depth", i.e. the image looking 3-dimensional for a 2D movie is important to me. Both TVs have the same price of $10,000. Which one would you recommend in this situation?

    I just purchased a QM8 and, while it has a beautiful picture in the optimal settings and feed with Disney Plus and video games, it leaves a lot to be desired when watching Discovery Plus or UA-cam. My 4 year old Vizio is better with lower resolution content. There is also a terrible rainbow reflection from our dining room light that makes the tv unwatchable with the light on. I think I will be returning the QM8 for the X90L.

Then I walked over to the 65 inch X90L, the viewing angle was MUCH better to the point where I was questioning if it was really an X90 or they mistakenly put a higher end model on display.🤔🤔🤔. I was going to get the 75 but now I dont know.

It seem I have seen complaints that the tv has issues between the internet feeds, cable feed and not translating them well. I am also worried that these tv's just are not actually functioning as well as my old 20 year old Sony just went to white screen and is tossed. Lastly I am only interested in a 55 inch and does the screen size matter in clarity or sound? Looking for just basic cable feeds and streaming, no gaming involved.
